If they are 7+40 vs 9.5+12 you will have 4mm less inner clearence and extend out wards by 60mm

Shit.

This means on the rears on 18x9.5 +12 I would need to run maby a 15m spacer. That's not cool.

Surely sonething is not right here.

Has anyone else ran these specs on an rs4s

From this thread they seemed to be ideal specs...

This is what I'm getting with stock R34gtt wheels

You can see where it touches. Mainly going up a driveway on an angle when there is flex.

I'm assuming the specs for the R34gtt wheels are right. I got them from the skyline wheel specks thread, I will check the wheel itself tomorow when it's light.

Anyone else running 18x9.5 +12 on their rs4s who can check their strut clearence?

I thought gtt 34 where 7.5 et 40 which means you will gain 3mm clearance on the inside and a further 53 mm on out so yeah you will have to run spacers inner clearences to strut must be vastly diff on manual hmmm

gaining clearance is good....

gonna use some slipons for the time being...hopefully 8mm will be enough to clear.

it only touches when angeling spoon drains and driveways.

will check the offset when i get the wheels off at work today to confirm their specs

also im sure the lowering has added a little bit of camber which will be sucked out when i fit the new wheels

the kms i do anything other than 0-0 camber is madness

Edited by GH05T

Yeah lowering will add camber, and then with the slip on spacer and new wheels you should have over 12 mm inner clearence ;) will be fine a bit of extra poke out the back won't hurt anyway

ok stamped on the R34 wheels i can confirm is

17X7 JJ +40

so im going to loose a further 4mm clearance from the inside on the new wheels.

hmmm so 18X9.5+12 DO NOT FIT RS4-S stageas

when the new wheels arrive i will need to test fit them without tires and see what is going to need to be done to clear them to my liking and how much outer extension im going to get.

the wheels will naturally add 60mm (from the R34 wheels not stock stag wheels) and im assuming im going to need maby a 15mm hubcentric spacer to properly clear them.

maby less once the wheels lift the car a bit and the camber is taken out.

so spacers, roll the guards 235/40 tires, 0 camber and we should be ok, gonna look fat either way.

a tiny bit worried about the extra strain on the bearings but meh.

amazed that the issue was with the rears on the 4WD seing as i understand they have a narrower subframe (more like the R33gtr?? )

and the fronts are happy as larry.

yeah thats what i have been reading too.

well the truth will come out when they arrive i guessshould be early next week.

im hoping i have missed somethig, mis calculated something misread something, and they fit without further modification but i dont see how.

i cannot imagine the coilovers would make that much of a difference, they may be thicker but their is only so much difference they could make.

Well I'm perplexed jet r31 is running 9.5 + 20 on his auto with Bc coilovers "the rim to coilover should be the same between autos and manuals just the out side diffrent " he has 5to 6mm clearence at I think neg 2 camber so if we look at that you at 9.5+12 should have 8mm more clearence on the inside so a total of 13mm clear and stick out 8mm more but ya got heaps of rm that way :) !!!! Then if I look at me I'm attempting to run a 10+5 so

Just took a pic of mine for you (sorry it's sideways, uploading from phone and it rotated it). As you can see there's quite a bit of clearance with the stock shocks, I'd say a good 15mm. Obviously BC's are thicker though. I'm not sure how much but you can work that out. Mine is as stated earlier s2 rs4s running 18x9.5 +12 with 245 40's.

well wtf is goin on here. i cant work it out.

is their anything that could be different on my model?

1998 Series 2 RS4-S manual 4wd

everything looks stock appart from the BCs, unless my wheels have been tampered with...nah im just pulling at straws now.

i will be VERY interested when the wheels arrive for test fit.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
